Pokemon has been pretty stable for the last 15 years.

R/S, D/P, B/W, X/Y have all sold in the 15-18 million range.

FR/LG, HG/SS, OR/AS have all sold in the 10-12 million range.

Emerald, Platinum, B/W2 have all sold in the 6-8 million range.

Oh I know that, I'm just making a point as to why Diamond/Pearl sold just a bit more than X/Y.

what im getting at is that install base isnt a huge factor in Pokemon sales.

GBA-80 million

DS-155 million

3DS-60 million

huge differences in install base yet Pokemon has sold a relatively stable amount.
